Usually it's too good to be true to find thoroughly original 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that has been owned by the same family all of its life. So you might not be able to finish reading all the specs on this before picking up the phone to grab this well-documented, and interesting survivor, with only a staggering 34,833 miles on the odometer!

If you want to attract attention, even at an all-Mustang gathering, a car like this incredible Mach 1 is the perfect tool for the job. It's still in its original Medium Blue metallic paint that looks amazing from all its decades of preservation. Few will argue that the 1970 sportsroof isn't a fantastic-looking piece of American muscle, and with the Mach 1's blacked-out hood treatment, scoop, and lower body moldings, it definitely looks the part. Remember all these details are original to this coupe that has spend 45 years in the care of three generations of the same family. All the chrome looks great and all the badges are still in place. Along the way, the only thing that really has changed are a set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, that we think fill the wheel wells nicely, but certainly they are easy to switch back to original steel units with hubcaps.

Inside is more evidence of a cherished survivor. The blue vinyl still looks amazing, and the two-tone weave on the high-back buckets still have a nice textured feel. The three-spoke steering wheel is always a nice sporting touch to break up the blue, and it has a nice woodgrained appliqué, that matches the dash and door inserts. The last of the family owners liked to take this car for comfortable cruises, and so he placed a matching center console/cup holder for comfort. But that simply removes without real damage. Basically, we dare you to find anything that's out of place in this original interior. We did! The AM/FM/cassette is not factory equipment, but then were told about its original optional AM radio that still comes with the car.

Pop the hood, and this one looks like it has a complete performance overhaul, including a new camshaft and intake. But underneath the modern components is the correct 351 H-code motor. This V8 shows all signs of being original, and it didn't even leave the engine bay for it upgrades. In fact, the valves have not even been seated for unleaded gas yet. Ok, that's not for everyone's tastes, but with the amount of care the family has gone to keep using the proper fuel additives, this is actually the kind of cool original touches that add a bit of distinction when talking to car show judges. Beyond the serious originality of the motor, this Mustang is reliable to go wherever you want, thanks to a rebuild of the original three-speed FMX automatic transmission less than 4,000 miles ago. In addition to the gearbox, this is a true cruiser with power steering, front disc brakes, and modern BF Goodrich T/As at all four corners.

This Mustang Mach 1 is in amazingly original condition, and has only averaged 775 miles annually during its lifetime. It's highly documented with everything from the factory buildsheet to photos and receipts for any major service. It's comfortable, reliable, fast, and highly original... all of which means it won't last long in our showroom, as '70 Mach 1's dont! Call today!!
